C
Here we go again, it's Monday at last,
C
He's heading for the Waterloo line,
                     Bb                                   G
To catch the 8 a.m. fast, it's usually dead on time,
Bb                                   G
Hope it isn't late, got to be there by nine.

F               C                G            C
Pin stripe suit, clean shirt and tie,
F                        C                       G             C
Stops off at the corner shop to buy The Times
Bb                       G
'Good morning Smithers-Jones
Bb                             G
How's the wife and home?
Bb                                                G
Did you get the car you've been looking for?
Bb                                                G                   G7
Did you get the car you've been looking for?'

Let me get inside you, let me take control of you,
Bb                               G
We could have some good times,
Bb                         G
All this worry will get you down,
Bb                          G                     G7            C
I'll give you a new meaning to life - I don't think so.

C
Sitting on the train, you're nearly there
C
You're part of the production line,
                  Bb                                    G
You're the same as him, you're like tin-sardines,
       Bb                                          G
Get out of the pack, before they peel you back.

F                    C         G           C
Arrive at the office, spot on time,
        F                   C               G               C
The clock on the wall hasn't yet struck nine,

I hope it's the promotion you've been looking for'

'Come in Smithers old boy
             C                                              F
Take a seat, take the weight off your feet
Bb                          G
I've some news to tell you
Bb                              G
There's no longer a position for you -
G7                       C
Sorry Smithers-Jones'

There's plenty more fish in the sea to fry
